Several months ago someone on -security was complaining about syslogd hanging when logging from remote hosts. I've since been affected by the problem myself and looked into it closely. It appears syslogd is suffering from a problem with the way the resolver handles interrupted kevent() calls. This problem was fixed back when the resolver used poll(), but the fix was not retained when refactoring with kqueue()/kevent(). I've submitted a bug report and patch, bin/26665. Please take a look.
